Human gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a lethal aggressive malignant neoplasm. Identification of potential molecular biomarkers and development of targeted therapeutics for GBC patients is very necessary. In this study, we firstly investigated the correlation between ring finger protein 125 (RNF125) expression and the metastasis and prognosis of GBC, and the underlying molecular mechanism. RNF125 ex...

Snapping finger is frequently encountered in orthopeidic diagnosis a:r:d treatment, and frequently experienced as cases of minor surgical operation of the hand. Cases of snapping finger generally are broadly classified into infantile cases and adult cases by their operative findings. The former is caused by formation of tumor by the flexor pollicis longus tendon itself at the entrance of the te...

Not infrequently it happens that as a result of an injury or infection a soldier has to be invalided out of the Army on account of the partial or total loss of the index finger, or of its impaired mobility through ankylosis of the smaller joints. Though the injury is often trivial and the man is perfectly fit otherwise, not being able to grip the rifle and pull the trigger efficiently, he is us...

Ewing's sarcoma of the finger is extremely rare. Pain and swelling of the affected finger are the most frequent presenting features. We report two cases of Ewing's sarcoma located at ring finger and the thumb in two children aged 14 and 10 years. The first patient died of generalised metastases despite surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The second had no localised recurrence or metast...

A simple method is developed for robustly estimating a fixed dominant axis of rotation (AoR) of anatomical joints from surface marker data. Previous approaches which assume a model of circular marker trajectories use plane fitting to estimate the direction of the AoR. However, when there is limited joint range of motion and rotation due to a second degree of freedom, minimizing only the planar ...
